I would like to clarify a point regarding my letter published on April 24. The current situation already permits that cars manufactured prior to 1971 pay half the annual road licence fee.
In fact in my letter I had written: "It is a very positive step, that ADT charges half the licence fee for cars manufactured before 1971." What I wanted to emphasise is that, what would be the use of such a system when the proposal now is that old cars be penalised for their exhaust emissions.
This would be a contradiction, when compared to the way the car licence system operates in England, where old cars are totally exempted from paying a licence fee.
